Where overseas? Let me know where. I’ll try it
-
Yeah. That bag is out of stock everywhere.

What do you guys use to carry the USPSA cardboard targets to the range. I am tired of carrying the cardboard shipping box they came in. In addition, I have to walk some distance from car to range and it would be nice to have a bag to sling over shoulder to carry them in. Double alpha has one but seems like these have in out of stock for ever.

Thanks all
-
Good luck. Not sure if what causes the delay is the dies or the actual press production.
-
All, for what is worth, I had to wait more than 12 weeks for my 1100 9mm.

I have added several reduced power springs to my XDM 9mm to include: a reduced power sear, trigger spring etc. Now, 9 out of every 10 shots are light primer strikes. Any thoughts? Maybe not enough forward force to move the CCU striker? Thinking that I may go back to factory springs on the gun? Thoughts? I thought the springs would make the trigger pull better, but inadvertently created another problem.

A Rocco Noeri answered my email and this is what he said:
it costs € 300, and a small modification must be made on the 1050 Dillon, if I show you everything to WhatsApp, this is my cell 0039 3482313519, hello shooter

Not sure what it is. I’ve contacted and am waiting for a reply.

Oh, and it’s an Italian company.

Have you guys heard of this? If you search for this on YouTube you will find it. Seems to be a part you install in the first and second station of the press. This bypasses the rest of the dies and only decaps the case before spitting it out. Seems like a great idea for just decapping preventing the case from going around or having to remove dies.

Mvmojo, my thoughts exactly. Powder spills are a PITA. It even spills under the primer slide causing feeding problems causing you to have to disassemble the entire primer assembly.
-
I drop powder and observe the primer with the camera. Next station I manually insert and seat bullet and on the last station I crimp. Oh, I also have the DAA brass marker. So after crimp, they all in the chute, get marked.
-
In my set up, I drop the powder and observe the primer then I have a powder cop die then seat and then crimp.
-
Camera is a success. Gives me a peace of mind every time I see a primer in the case.
-
Installed the camera under the powder die and works like a charm.
-
Yes and no. In the 1100 and 1050 you prime when the handle is down and you don’t get the extra push/feedback that a primer is inserted. Therefore its reassuring to be able to see if the primer went in. Also if there is a problem with feeding primers you can see this quickly without dropping powder in cases with no primers and making a mess. Ask me how I know.
-
Awesome pics. Exactly what I wanted to see. I bought and received the cam a few days ago and will install today!!
-
Gonna try with the camera. I think it’ll be a good fix for now.
-
An issue I’ve been having with my 1100 is that sometimes the slide won’t provide a primer and by the time powder is dropped it starts to spill creating a mess on the plate. Is there an aftermarket primer sensor that will alert if no primer is inserted in the case? I know ammobot and MK have something similar. But I’m looking for a stand alone sensor for this.
-
You may also want to check the type Of hardness of your lead. Wheel weights will be softer and under too high pressures will most def melt some of that lead regardless of the coating. Try to find something like 92% lead, 6% antimony and 2% tin. That’s what some manufacturers use.
-
Guys, I got a simple question: is there a way to verify during the process of loading if a case is primed or not? As you know priming is done on the downward stroke and you don’t get that feel of a primer being inserted.
-
CK1, I hear you man. After 10 weeks I got my 1100 few days ago. I’ll post some pics that can hopefully answer your and others questions. BTW, I’m using the RCBS Lock Out die.
So guys, if you have any questions about the press please do not hesitate to ask.
